Let's use Rit DyeMore Synethic Dye to dye some 100% arylic yarn, 75% acrylic / 25% wool yarn, and some 100% wool yarn (http://shrsl.com/k9c0 - KnitPicks Affiliate Link). This time, we can EXPECT some good results since the dye is designed for acrylic fibers. Do you think it will work on the 100% wool, too? Watch and find out!
This video is seriously half washing yarn. Maybe even 2/3.
